Modification History

Release	Comment
1	Replaces equivalent unit FPPCPP440A Troubleshoot and rectify coated paper processes, which was first released with FPP10 Pulp and Paper Manufacturing Industry Training Package Version 1. This is the first release of this unit in the new standards format.

Application

This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to diagnose, rectify and report on plant, equipment or product quality faults in coated paper processes.

This unit applies to senior operators and production specialists who troubleshoot and rectify coated paper processes in a pulp or paper manufacturing facility. This work typically involves complex integrated equipment and continuous operations. Coated paper processes describe a range of systems and sub systems including tail feed systems, chemical and material batching, laminating and coating, splicing, clay plant operation, calendaring, pre-reeler operations, super calendaring, rewindering, drying systems, internal unloading and combine rollers.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
